Conophytum altum L. Bolus

S. African Gard. 17: 294. 1927; L. Bolus, Notes Mesembr. Pt. 1, 130. 1928.

Origin and Habitat: Namaqualand, Northern Cape South Africa.

Habitat:It grows on exposed on quartzite hills.

Synonyms:Conophytum bilobum subs. altum (L. Bolus) S.A.Hammer

CHINESE (中文): 少将

Description: Conophytum bilobum subsp. altum is a bilobe, but forms slender upright stems with age, unlike other bilobes. Moreover it has a rather meagre number of petals as compared with the plenitude of the corolla of other bilobes.
Habit: It is a dwarf, cushion-forming plant. Dormant in summer.
Stems: Short but with internodes somewhat elongated.
Bodies (Paired leaves): The small, cone-shaped 'heads' or 'bodies' are actually pairs of leaves joined to their tips with only a small opening, through which the flower stalk appears in autumn. Individual body up to 30 mm tall and 12 mm wide, usually much smaller, lobed, dull green to greenish-orange or pinkish-green. Large clumps of these small heads develop through the years.
Flowers: Small, daisy-like. Petals always yellow.
Blooming season: Blooms mostly in autumn (in cultivation in Europe August-November). The flowers are numerous and diurnal.
Note: Separated from Conophytum bilobum ssp bilobum because of its long internodes and small, well-fused leaves. At some localities it appears to cross with stemless plants of Conophytum bilobum ssp bilobum and with Conophytum meyeri
